What people are saying
Several comments emphasize the significance of visual tools in mitigating binary thinking around p-values and confidence intervals, with mentions of presentations at IEEE and summaries of recent research findings. Word choices like 'effectively', 'gonna', and references to presentations and papers reflect both enthusiasm and scholarly engagement, indicating a positive orientation towards the potential impact of the research.
Most discussions support the idea that visual representations can help reduce dichotomous thinking, emphasizing the positive implications of the research.
Posts show high curiosity about the topic, many referencing recent presentations, articles, and sharing their thoughts on improving statistical interpretation.
Some comments delve into methodological details and sharing related publications, indicating active participation beyond superficial acknowledgment.
The discussions suggest this research could influence practices in scientific communication and statistical interpretation, although the overall tone remains exploratory.
Abstract in brief
- This study investigates how different ways of visually presenting statistical data, especially confidence intervals (CIs), can help reduce the tendency of scientists to interpret results in a black-and-white manner, such as overemphasizing small p-values or overlapping CIs.
- The researchers ran experiments with experts to see if adding visual cues to confidence intervals decreases the 'cliff effect,' which is the sudden drop in confidence around a p-value of 0.05, and found that visual information can indeed lessen this dichotomous thinking.
- Overall, the findings suggest that enhancing traditional statistical representations with visual elements can make scientists more nuanced in interpreting results, potentially improving scientific inference and reducing overly simplistic conclusions.

@siminevazire @lakens @RinkHoekstra Re alternative and how to alleviate the cliff effect I just published a paper on the topic with alternative visual representations that you and @RinkHoekstra might be interested in: https://t.co/eqnDm01tRI
@lakens Now, how do we do that? Well perhaps better visualization strategies, see: https://t.co/eqnDm01tRI Also, pay attention to the words you use and careful balance boosters and hedges (poke @aeryn_thrace) cf: https://t.co/srS0ifW9mk

Did you miss our session on the 30th? If you conduct empirical research, I would encourage you to watch this video and consider how we communicate research findings. Fantastic presentation from @lonnibesancon https://t.co/lyX6yXebek

Very happy to join @GlasgowTea to talk about the understanding & communication of uncertainty in empirical research! Looking forward to this!

Some positive perspective on how we could avoid such dichotomous reasoning (and language)? Well perhaps visual results of inferential results might help in reducing such binary interpretation. See our recent paper (https://t.co/GNtvqnDz1n) for more info 20/n

You might not be aware of it but you're now diving into my research topic. Dichotomous interpretations of p-values and CIs are wrong.
